Rodri is reportedly very close to leaving Manchester City, and Enzo Fernandez would be Enzo Maresca's dream signing to replace the Spaniard. Enzo Fernandez has emerged as Manchester City’s dream target to replace Rodri, according to transfers insider Gianluca Di Marzio, with new head coach Enzo Maresca identifying his former Chelsea player as the ideal successor for the departing Spanish midfielder. Rodri, 30, has reportedly made clear that his priority is a move to Barcelona, with City already rejecting an opening offer from the Catalan club. Talks between the two sides remain ongoing, with Spanish media putting the total package in the region of €60 million, including a €45 million upfront payment. Maresca, who worked closely with Fernandez during his time at Stamford Bridge, sees the Argentine as possessing the leadership, passing range, tactical intelligence and on-pitch personality needed to control matches from the center of the park. Chelsea, however, are firmly opposed to selling, viewing the 25-year-old as a cornerstone of their project. He remains under contract until 2032 and is valued at over £100 million, with a direct move to a Premier League rival likely to inflate that figure further. Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea.

According to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations for the 18-year-old Moroccan are moving into their final stages, with City already in agreement with the player on personal terms over a five-year deal, and reports placing the fee around €100 million. Unlike Fernandez, who profiles more as a forward-driving midfielder, Bouaddi operates as more of a tempo-setting playmaker — a style that matches with Rodri’s attributes at the midfield. Still, while City have the Bouaddi deal almost wrapped up, that doesn’t mean they won’t still try to go after the Argentine midfielder.
Tottenham rejected a move for Cristian Romero to Arsenal, while the Argentine reportedly closes in on a move to Atletico Madrid. Arsenal have been rebuffed in their approach for Cristian Romero, with Tottenham making clear they won’t do business with their London rivals as the Argentine defender edges closer to a move to Atletico Madrid. The reigning Premier League champions turned to Romero after William Saliba suffered a serious back injury during France’s World Cup campaign, leaving Mikel Arteta’s side short at the back with the transfer window nearing its close. Arsenal had already seen an earlier approach for Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa rejected before shifting their attention to the Tottenham captain. Spurs, however, wasted no time shutting the door. Fabrizio Romano reported that Arsenal made inquiries this week but that Spurs prefer to sell abroad, while a separate report from The Athletic stated that Tottenham’s hierarchy have categorically ruled out selling Romero to Arsenal under any circumstances. That stance has left the door wide open for Atletico Madrid, who have emerged as the clear favorites for Romero’s signature. The Spanish club has already opened formal negotiations with Tottenham, seen an initial bid rejected, and is preparing a new offer, with Romano placing Atletico Madrid well ahead of Inter Milan in the race for the Argentine.

(Getty Images) Inter, meanwhile, had reached a €40 million agreement with Tottenham but saw the move stall after failing to sell Benjamin Pavard to fund it and after Romero himself held off on agreeing personal terms — with reports suggesting the defender has a clause favoring a move to one of Spain’s traditional “big three” clubs. Romero hinted earlier at a LaLiga move Romero’s links to a Spanish move aren’t new. Speaking to Los Edul a few months ago, the defender admitted that a switch to LaLiga was something he’d long considered. “Growth is always on my mind, going to new places to keep growing. Playing in LaLiga is something I’m missing out on. I would love that, honestly,” he said at the time. Those comments now look particularly timely given how close he appears to Atletico Madrid. While Romero has been consistently linked with a move to Spain over the past year, his own words suggest the interest runs both ways.
Newcastle United sporting director Ross Wilson says the club did not plan to sell Bruno Guimaraes, but their "very emotional" captain wanted to join Arsenal. The Premier League champions are set to complete a £75m move for the midfielder following a breakthrough in talks this week. Although Wilson said it was "disappointing" to see Guimaraes go, he stressed the 28-year-old did not want to "play here anymore".
There was a generally positive feel to this season's Fans' Forum and it was no surprise the issue of Danny Welbeck's departure was seized upon straight away. A resolute response indicated a full focus on pushing forward, accepting the realities of the Premier League and stiff resolves in the decision making by the club in its transfer and retention policy. The name checking of young players, a desire to do well in the Conference League and changes to the Amex Stadium were also discussed in a pacy, fun evening.

The power battle over Vanessa Gold’s shares and the David Sullivan Panorama allegations are overshadowing the start of the season in the ChampionshipThere have been 10 summers of West Ham’s London Stadium tenancy and a number of winters of discontent. As the Hammers kick off the new season on Saturday, a Carabao Cup first-round fixture with Portsmouth is a stark reminder of reduced circumstances, further confirmation of last season’s relegation from the Premier League. The summer has been as bleak as any of those winters, with a number of factors colliding to deepen the gloom of relegation.Certain clubs, including West Ham back in 2011-12 when promotion was achieved at first time of asking under Sam Allardyce, have used the Championship to take a beat, to refresh and replenish. Can this be the case at West Ham 2026? The Hammers are short-odds favourites for promotion but behind the scenes it has been a summer of turbulence, particularly in the boardroom, where a power struggle is being fought.

Though whispers of the Portuguese talisman's departure have echoed across Europe for weeks, a new revelation threatens to send shockwaves through the squad, promising profound consequences for the American star. A sudden and unexpected twist in Rafael Leao’s destiny has plunged both him and Christian Pulisic into the heart of Milan’s most captivating summer saga. Though whispers of the Portuguese talisman’s departure have echoed across Europe for weeks, a new revelation threatens to send shockwaves through the squad, promising profound consequences for the American star. For much of the transfer window, Leao appeared destined to leave Milan as interest arrived from Turkiye, while Premier League clubs were also mentioned as possible destinations. At the same time, Pulisic has remained a key figure in the club’s plans under new head coach Ruben Amorim, making the latest developments even more intriguing. Galatasaray has recently intensified its efforts to sign Rafael Leao, opening negotiations with the Italian side and submitting an official bid for the Portugal international. According to Turkish journalist Yagız Sabuncuoglu, the Turkish champion offered around $40 million for a permanent transfer, but the proposal was immediately rejected because Milan continues to value the winger at between $58 million and $69 million. Thus, Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia and MilanNews respond that Milan has no intention of accepting a discounted fee and will only consider a permanent transfer if their valuation is met. The club also rejected previous ideas involving loan deals, making it clear they are only interested in a full sale. Rafael Leao of AC Milan looks on Despite the failed opening offer, Galatasaray is said to be preparing an improved proposal that could approach $46 million, although that still falls short of the Rossoneri’s asking price. Turkish media also claim Leao has shown interest in the move, while other reports suggest his position is becoming increasingly complicated. Leao reportedly changes his stance Just weeks ago, Leao openly admitted he wanted a new challenge after spending seven seasons with Milan. His comments appeared to signal the end of his time at San Siro, especially after missing out on Champions League action. However, recent reports suggest the situation has changed dramatically. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Portuguese forward has begun reconsidering his future after returning for pre-season, feeling welcomed once again by teammates and encouraged by the atmosphere under Ruben Amorim. Rafael Leao of AC Milan during the Serie A match. According to the newspaper, the 27-year-old has realized that leaving is no longer his only option. Instead, he is reportedly open to repairing his relationship with the club and continuing his career in Italy if the right transfer proposal never arrives. Further reinforcing that idea, Pietro Mazzara of MilanNews reported that Leao has informed Milan he wants to stay for now, even though the club remains willing to listen to offers that match its valuation. Why Leao staying could directly affect Christian Pulisic The biggest consequence of Leao remaining at Milan concerns Christian Pulisic’s role under Ruben Amorim. Earlier this summer, reports suggested Amorim viewed Pulisic as his first-choice option in the left-sided attacking midfield role within his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, with the American expected to operate between the lines rather than as a traditional winger. During his unveiling, Amorim made his admiration for Pulisic perfectly clear. “Pulisic is truly a very talented player. He got injured at the World Cup, we’ll have to understand. But he’s perfect for the way Italian football is… I have clear ideas about how I want to see him play… I want him between the lines… He’s very important for us.” Rafael Leao of AC Milan interacts with Christian Pulisic Those comments fueled speculation that there might be little room for Leao in the new tactical set
A crop of young players emerges every season in the Premier League. Who will make the grade this year?By Opta AnalystDowman is old news by now, so we’re going to look at someone four months older than him. Much like the fish of the same name, Salmon has risen quickly. The defender became the fourth-youngest player to represent Arsenal last season when he came off the bench against Club Brugge in the Champions League in December at the age of just 16 years and 102 days.

Speculation has surrounded Wilson Isidor's future at Sunderland since last season. West Ham have shown interest in the forward, but BBC Radio Newcastle's Nick Barnes believes the prospect of playing in the Championship is not a move Isidor would consider. During Sunderland's pre-season tour of the United States, the 25-year-old said he is aiming to improve his tally of six goals scored last campaign.
Today’s rumours broke you once, made you strongCody Gakpo’s performances went south last season and now his entire personage might follow, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly preparing an offer in the region of £70m to bring him to north London. There appears to be some mixed messages floating around about this potential deal. The Mail say Liverpool “have no plans to sell Gakpo” and that “it would take a huge sum to change their stance”, but these things are fluid. The Athletic say “Liverpool have no intention of selling”, but also, and in the same sentence, that they “would judge his value relative to other deals this summer, including Morgan Rogers’ transfer to Chelsea”. So, in short, Spurs will have to whip out their recently-discovered XXL chequebook if they want to get this one over the line.Talking about Chelsea, “multiple Premier League clubs” have contacted them to ask about the availability of Mykhailo Mudryk, recently freed from a doping ban, says the Mirror. They name only one of them: Coventry City, coached by two-time former Stamford Bridge manager Frank Lampard. The Sun specify that “two more Prem sides are believed to have enquired, while there is interest from three clubs in Europe”. The Mirror’s report on the battle for the Ukrainian’s services is inevitably, but pleasingly, headlined “Mud Fight”. Continue reading...
